Tonight, Monday, November 16 at 7:30 pm. in Room 4 of the Riverside Village Hall, there will be a public forum on the Village’s budget. The Village of Riverside has proposed cutting funding for crossing guards beginning in fiscal year 2010.

Obviously this is a decision that could have an impact on the safety of all children walking to school in Riverside, including those who need to cross 1st Avenue. If you have an opinion, suggestion, or concern to raise regarding this issue, please attend the meeting tonight and share it with the board.
